Chapter 791: Snow Boiled Red Plum
Cang Linchen glanced slightly, and the crystal snowflakes flew one after another, falling on the surface of the water, rippling layer by layer, and a thin layer of ice had begun to form on the edge of the lake, like a mirror.
Even though the scenery is beautiful, it also depends on who he is admiring together, if it is Xia Yinhuan, Cang Linchen is very happy to enjoy the present moment, but the person in front of him is Concubine Xiang who he has no good feelings for at all.
"If you don't say it, I'll go back." Cang Linchen said, stood up, and made a gesture to ask Ande to dock the boat, but Concubine Xiang hurriedly grabbed his hand.
"Your Majesty, the concubine just asked you to accompany the concubine for a while, isn't Your Majesty willing to do this?" Concubine Xiang frowned, there was anxiety and uneasiness in her eyes, and her eyes were moist as she spoke, and Chu Chu's pitiful appearance must not be able to bear to hurt any man.
Cang Rinchen's words came to his mouth and swallowed again, he knew that Concubine Xiang was named a concubine completely because of his own reasons, and she also had selfish intentions.
If she hadn't been named a concubine at the beginning, she wouldn't have been tied up in the palace now, and she just wanted to fight with Xia Yin.
He sat down again, the oncoming cold wind, blowing on the face of a little painful, this winter rafting is not a good thing, generally rafting is spring and summer, when the weather is fine, with the person you like, while boating while enjoying the scenery is a great enjoyment of life.
"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that you can brew a hand of plum blossom tea, why don't you boil a pot for the concubine to taste?" Concubine Xiang has to inch in, she now has one of her brother's trump cards in hand, presumably Cang Linchen should not refuse.
She originally wanted to see Cang Linchen in person today, but if she thought about it, she was a little embarrassed, so she simply went to say goodbye to Xia Yinhuan, and by the way, she could see him in Fengqi Palace.
Going to ask Xia Yinhuan was just an excuse to see him, so she didn't have the heart to go to Xia Yinhuan early in the morning.
Cang Linchen frowned slightly, he wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he gave up, beckoned Ander and said, "Go pick some plum blossoms and find some snow."
Ande was a little embarrassed, but he was on Xia Yinhuan's side from beginning to end, at this time, Cang Linchen wanted to accompany Concubine Xiang, and he actually had to make plum blossom tea for her in person, he was naturally a little unhappy.
But seeing that Cang Rinchen's eyes were glaring, he immediately compromised, walked out of the boat and stepped on the shore to get something.
Concubine Xiang looked very happy, the tip of Rao is nose was red from the cold, her lips were purple, she was trembling, she had been smiling happily for a long time, watching the sparse snowflakes fall, holding it in the palm of her hand as if she had seen a treasure.
Cang Rinchen has no intention of looking at her at all, she is admittedly naΓ―ve, he knows everything, she framed Xia Yinhuan for stealing the jade bracelet, she wants to poison Xia Yinhuan, everything is clear.
Rao is person in front of him has a bright smile and picturesque eyebrows, but he can't hide an ugly heart and a sinful soul.
He didn't speak, Concubine Xiang didn't say anything, it seemed as if she was delaying time, Cang Linchen wondered if she was deliberately looking for an opportunity, saying that Qiu Lianke's matter was fake, and it was true that he asked him to accompany the boat.
After a while, Ander went and returned, holding the stove in his left hand, a teapot and a bowl in his right hand, and cautiously walked onto the boat, and Cang Linchen hurriedly took the teapot and bowl in his hand.
Ander then put the stove on the square table in the center of the two, and then took out a purse from the psoas muscles, and poured the plum blossoms in the purse into the teapot.
"It's a good thing." Cang Rinchen knew that Ande was dissatisfied, Cang Rinchen didn't feel anything, just boiling plum blossom tea was not a big deal, as long as she boiled plum blossom tea, she should be able to talk about Qiu Lianke.
"Your Majesty, the slave will wait on the shore." Ander was visibly dissatisfied, and then he lowered his eyebrows and withdrew from the ship.
Standing on the shore again, he leaned over and dragged the edge of the boat, and with a vigorous push, the boat floated away on the surface of the lake against the wind, and slowly went to the middle of the lake.
Cang Rinchen poured the snow into the teapot, placed it on the stove, and took the fire fold in the square table to light the charcoal poured with alcohol.
The blue flame burned, with a faint smell of wine, and Cang Linchen picked up a small fan by the way, and gently stirred it up, so as to make the fire bigger.
"Your Majesty, doesn't the appearance of a concubine make Your Majesty very troubled?" Concubine Xiang blinked her clear eyes and looked at Cang Linchen and asked, as if she was not in the way, yes, the child was asking innocent and stupid questions.
Cang Linchen glanced at her and replied coldly, "It's good that you know!" β
It's not just trouble, it's really troublesome to deal with her, the main thing is that the heart is not on her, if it's Xia Yinhuan, she will do whatever she asks him to do, and there will definitely be no complaints.
But the other party is Concubine Xiang, he can't be interested, even if he says something nice to coax him, he doesn't bother to say it.
Hearing this, Concubine Xiang didn't laugh angrily, supported her with one hand, watched the fire in the furnace getting bigger and bigger, and knocked her fingers on Fang Ji and said: "Actually, the concubine doesn't want to bother Your Majesty, but the concubine just feels lonely for too long, even if she annoys Your Majesty, she has to let Her Majesty accompany her concubine, and the concubine in the palace doesn't even have a person she trusts, and the lonely lamp is accompanied by an afterimage every day, this kind of life is too terrible." β
She remembered the appearance of Fengle Palace, but she had lived in Fengle Palace for less than two months, and now she could know the furnishings of Fengle Palace with her eyes closed, and she looked at the empty palace every day, and those things had long been remembered in her heart.
"Your Majesty, do you know?" She was careless, not looking at the dust, just staring intently at the coals in the stove: "The concubine just wants His Majesty to spare a little time to accompany the concubine in this way, and the concubine also knows the weight of the queen's sister in His Majesty's heart, but the concubine, as His Majesty's concubine, also hopes that His Majesty can give a little, even a little mercy." β
This is the first time she has spoken her heart to Cang Rinchen, although she can find an excuse to bully Cang Rinchen now, but in his heart, there is no existence of her at all.
She worked hard, wanted to enter his heart, even if it was to pretend to be pitiful, even if it was to win sympathy, it was worth it.
Cang Linchen's hand that had stirred up the coals a few times paused, and continued to move. Occasionally looked up at her, but she never looked at him.
I have to say that after she said these words, Cang Linchen was a little soft-hearted, he knew that people would not become bad for no reason, and a woman would not be able to kill without blinking an eye no matter how cruel she was.
People have seven emotions and six desires, because of these feelings, they will be angry, jealous, and crazy, Concubine Xiang harmed Xia Yinhuan, and it was precisely because she was jealous of her that she would shoot at her.
"So, can I send you out of the palace?" Cang Rinchen's tone was much softer, he hadn't touched her still innocent body, she was still young, and leaving her in the palace would only let hatred ruin her.
It's better to let her out of the palace, her brother will be an official in the future plunger court, she looks beautiful, she can also marry a good family, and live a peaceful life.
"Don't!" Concubine Xiang raised her head and grabbed his arm nervously: "Don't go out of the palace concubine, the concubine saw a portrait of Your Majesty many years ago, and since then she has been devoted to Your Majesty, King Lian sent her concubine into the palace, and the concubine is willing, she only wants to be by Your Majesty's side in this life, and swears not to marry someone else!" β
The sympathy card was successful, but she didn't expect the result to be very different from what she expected, Cang Linchen actually wanted to drive her out of the palace!
"You ......" Cang Rinchen looked at her in surprise, he had never heard of this kind of thing, and he had actually seen his portrait. In the previous harem, how many women were interested in their hearts, and how many of them really loved him, not all of them were for power, fighting openly and secretly.
Concubine Xiang said these words so frankly, Cang Rinchen was surprised and it was even more difficult to decide, whether to send her out of the palace or continue to let her stay in the palace became a problem.
"Your Majesty, the water is good." Concubine Xiang was frightened, looking at the curling green smoke wafting from the lid of the teacan, she quickly changed the topic, she didn't want to continue to entangle on this issue, what if Cang Linchen really drove her out of the palace?
She let go of Cang Rinchen's arm, and then Cang Rinchen held the top of the lid of the tea can with a cloth, and opened the lid of the can, and the water was already boiling.
The rolling water is tumbling with red and bright plum blossoms, and a faint fragrance wafts out.
Cang Linchen covered the lid of the pot again, fanned it with a fan, and the wind blew, blowing the green smoke of the fire and the vapor of the tea to the side of Concubine Xiang.
Concubine Xiang choked on a puff of cigarette, squinted her eyes and coughed, Cang Rinchen hurriedly fanned it, and the green smoke turned around, and it turned out to be rushing towards him.
He took a deep breath, choked in his throat and coughed, and when Concubine Xiang saw this, she laughed while coughing, laughing purely hilariously, with crystal tears in her eyes.
Cang Linchen raised his eyes and saw her happy appearance, but it was surprisingly real, not like in the past, showing her bright teeth, and cracking the corners of her mouth had a different taste.
Concubine Xiang didn't notice his strange gaze, she was still smiling presumptuously, and after a while, Cang Linchen had already regained her clarity, took the teapot off the stove, and then put the stove aside, so that no choking smoke floated up.
"It's cooked." Cang Linchen coughed twice, held the handle of the teapot with a cloth, and rummaged through the drawer in the square table, fortunately, there was a cup in the drawer.
He took out two cups, one in front of Concubine Xiang and the other in front of himself, and poured a cup of plum blossom tea for Concubine Xiang first, and then poured another cup for himself.
Concubine Xiang stopped laughing, looking at the tiny ripples of the green tea in the cup, she picked up the cup and looked at it carefully, the plum blossom did not change color at all, but became more vivid.
"What a beautiful tea!" She couldn't help but sigh that the plum blossoms were floating in the water, slowly sinking to the bottom of the cup, and the tea was green with some red.
Cang Linchen also picked up the cup, looked at it but didn't drink it, but said to her, "Taste it." β
Concubine Xiang naturally happily picked up the cup, brought it to her mouth, blew and drank it, and the tea entered her throat, and she immediately frowned, with an embarrassed look on her face.
It's not swallowing, it's not spit out, I looked at Cang Linchen, I had to swallow it at the moment, and immediately stretched out my tongue and exhaled.
Cang Linchen watched silently and didn't speak, until Concubine Xiang took a breath and then picked up the cup and asked, "How can it be such a taste, so bitter!" β
"Plum blossom tea, even if it's this, asked." Cang Linchen said lightly, his face was indifferent, the plum blossom tea he cooked for Xia Yinhuan last time was added with candied fruit, but this time it was not, it is strange that it is not bitter.
He did it on purpose, and the only person who could drink the plum blossom tea that he had carefully brewed himself was Xia Yinhuan, and he would not make a pot of plum blossom tea for anyone in this life.
"Isn't it?" The tip of Concubine Xiang's tongue was full of bitterness, although it had a faint fragrance, it couldn't hide the bitter taste, as if she had eaten a yellow lotus.
Cang Rinchen picked up the cup, shook it, and watched the plum blossoms that had sunk to the bottom float again, like red koi fish wandering freely in the water.
"You don't want to talk to me about your brother, the plum blossom tea is also boiled, what should you say?" He raised his eyes, and his eyes were cold.
